Deanna Bradley, a Price Chopper employee, says she was there when the crash happened.

"I’m like, ‘What the heck,’ and I see the pole. But then I see (crime scene investigators) in the parking lot- CSI's around. Mmmm, scary,” said Bradley.

The accident caused some power outages in the area and shut down a portion of Ingersoll Avenue.

“It's all blocked off with what's going on, and look at how funky that crack [in the pole is]," said Bradley.

Because of the road closure, residents, like Chance Hoelting, had difficulty commuting Sunday morning.

"I've been trying to get to work, but the closest Uber and Lyft are 20 minutes away," said Hoelting.

“And actually, my bus stop is right there, and the whole street is shut down,” said Hoelting.

Tow trucks and MidAmerican trucks were on the scene to help clean up the area and restore power.

According to MidAmerican, power has been restored to all customers in the area.
